With the board reading , Peter Gould bets out 1,625. Neighbour Mike Fisher, meanwhile, dwells up what we all thought would be a pass or call, before counting out his chips and making it a meaty 5,625 in total. Gould passed quicker than a Benny Hill on forward wind. "Aces," claimed Fisher, and I'm inclined to believe him.

Beard of the day goes to this chap for the furry ferret hanging from his chin.

More importantly, however, can anyone name the player behind him that has just been eliminated from the tournament?

Gold stars available.

Barry Neville told me "Listen oop kid, Ahm not pleyin many 'ands today"

His yorkshire brogue-delivered prophecy proved accurate, although perhaps not for the reasons he thought...

I saw him walking around lilke a bulldog chewing a wasp in the cardroom and I approached him with no small measure of trepidation...

"How's things?" I venture daringly...

"Ah told thee ah'd not pley meny 'ands terdehhh. Same kid teks all me chips!"

(Most likely candidate is Richie Allen who is circa 17/18k at the moment)

"First off ah've got eeeessses." (Ok I must admit at this point I was defeated by Barry's accent and was unsure whether he had or Aces)

Anyway turns out his conqueror had and had flopped quads, causing Barry to lose much of his stack...

Next up Barry had T-J and committed all his chips on the turn of a 7 - 9 - T - 9 flop, only to find his opponent, (Richie again!) had another big hand in 7-7 for a flopped set.

One disgruntled yorkshireman was sent crashing to the rail with a menacing big black cloud hovering over his head. I consoled Barry as best I could before rushing off in case he decided to wreak veangeance on those standing nearby. "Woon thousand pounds for 2 hands!" he shouts at me as I depart.

"bout £500 a hand Barry I reckon", providing mathematical, if not actual assistance as i leave.

Hey Cat good stuff, I could almost taste it. MORE

"How've you been getting on?" I ask Gutshotter Mike Tse, actually referring to his poker career. "I was up to 15k at one point," replies Mike, obviously poised to discuss his early action in this particular comp.

"Don't tell him the hand," exclaims neighbour Nick Gibson frantically. "I don't want people thinking I'm a (insert alternative name for a cat here)."

Ignoring his foe's wishes, Mike continues: "I was in the big blind and, along with the small blind, called Nick's under-the-gun re-raise. I checked to Nick, and he bet 500 on a 6 high rainbow Flop. The small blind called, and I raised to 2k. Nick folded, and the small blind called. It then got checked to the end with a Jack slowing me down on the River. Nick folded Queens apparently."

Heading off on a tangent, Nick observes my hair and its recent development. "Crikey, Snoops, you've got more hair on your chops than I have on my entire head." On closer inspection of the following photo, I think it's hard to disagree.

Rory Liffey, the flame haired young Irishman is OUT!

Details of his exit are scarcer than razors around Snoopy's chin, but if I can flesh out the bare bones of this description people, beleive me I will........using real flesh, muahahahah!

No, not really, I'll use words. I'm not a psycho cat, honest. This is a psycho cat...




Word has filtered through of some other early eliminations, those being the players occupying seats 406 and 106, aka Richard Stanley and John Flanagan.

Good game fellas

If it's ol yoyo golden balls, he's certainly tanned those pale white raising paws of his.

No, don't adjust your sets folks, this jacket really is as bright and sparkling as it appears and yes, that really is Elvis. He lives... although has adopted the pseudonym of Pol Astaniotis.

Pointless question of the day time (well not to me). 

Have the baize's (is that the plural for baize??) always been a beige colour or is this a recent occurrence??  I was last there in December and can't recall them being of light tone....
